There are three or four units to which this designation could apply. Is this the one that you mean:
Gordon's Cav. Bn. (Organized 1862, Lt. Col. James Gordon; increased to regt. late 1862 and designated 2nd Cav. Regt.)
2nd Cav. Regt. (Organized by increase of Gordon's Cav. Bn. to regt. summer 1862, Col. James Gordon; also known as 42nd Cav. Regt., 42nd Mounted Inf. Regt., or 4th Cav. Regt.; surrendered May 4, 1865)
Here's some other possibilities:
2nd Cav. Regt., Partisan Rangers (Organized late 1862, Col. John G. Ballantine; also known as Ballantine's Cav. Regt.; surrendered May 4, 1865)
2nd Cav. Regt., Partisan Rangers, State Troops, aka 1st Cav. Regt., State Troops (Organized by increase of 1st Cav. Bn., State Troops to regt. in spring 1863, Col. Green L. Blythe; disbanded for reorganization fall 1863 but apparently never reorganized)
2nd Cav. Regt., State Troops (Organized summer 1863, Col. J. F. Smith; consolidated March 20, 1865 with Ashcraft's Cav. Regt. and Ham's Cav. Regt. and designated Ashcraft's-Ham's-Lowry's Cav. Regt. Consolidated)
